"I adore that pink! It's the navy blue of India" - Diana Vreeland


I noticed that House Beautiful is devoting a large portion of its current issue to the color pink and, like Diana, I adore almost every shade of pink  It is a color that always makes me happy.  I wanted to post some images from this month's House Beautiful and others that I've saved throughout the years that feature this wonderful color.  Happy Friday!

Red and Blue.


I was going to do a post all about the color red in honor of Valentine's Day and all the red gowns we saw at the SAG Awards, but I decided to incorporate another color: blue!  I love the combination of red and blue, particularly a pale, almost grey blue with a orange-y red.  I reserve the standard red and blue for the 4th of July.  Below gaze upon some images conveying the many ways in which you can combine these two colors!  

Love Sofia, love this movie, and love this dress!  This is the shade of blue I like to see with a red.

My younger brother picked out this scarf as a Christmas present from the Hermes store in Dallas.  Exquisite.

Leontine Linens.  They have the most beautiful monograms.

More Leontine.


If you only want a touch of red, this nail polish by Essie is a great choice.  Its called Lollipop and its a bright red that looks good on everyone.

Kennedy Style.

After watching the SAG Awards last night I turned to TLC to watch Kennedy Home Movies, two hours of just that, a compilation of Kennedy movies from when JFK was a child to after Jackie married Aristotle.  I was so fasciated I watched it twice!  I came away so inspired by the innate style of the Kennedy clan that I wanted to post some of my favorite photos of the Kennedy/Bouvier women Jackie, Carolyn, and Lee.  

The first lady learning to do the twist with Oleg Cassini in her sister Lee's London home.

Jackie at a dinner in Washington D.C. when she was still single.  The arm to the left is JFK's.
